The assailants killed presenter Luís Manuel Medina of Milenio Caliente (Hot Millennium) — a morning news programme – and also shot the show’s producer and director Leo Martínez, who was in the adjacent room.

In the horrific video, gunfire can be heard in the background as Mr Medina is reading the news.

Police have arrested three men in connection with the shooting but are yet to identify any motive behind it. The radio show was known to discuss a variety of subjects from political to social issues.
